Question

While undergoing a transition from the n = 1 to the n = 2 energy level, a harmonic oscillator absorbs a photon of wavelength7.70 μm

Part A:

What is the wavelength of the absorbed photon when this oscillator undergoes a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 3 energy level?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Part B:

What is the wavelength of the absorbed photon when this oscillator undergoes a transition from the n = 1 to the n = 3 energy level?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Part C: What is the value of   $\sqrt{k'/m}$ the angular oscillation frequency of the corresponding Newtonian oscillator?
